Hey Jay,
Check the wiki. :-) We looked into it. Price is right, but it may be
too small. Capacity for an open space-ish conference is about 100, and
it would be tight at that number. We want to be prepared for 150 at
least.
On the other hand, I think it would be a great party venue, and it
would have a higher capacity in that situation. Plus, I talked to them
about possible sponsorship, and they would definitely be open to that.
Let me know if you want an intro. The space is really beautiful; I'd
recommend taking a look.

Hi all - I sent this around earlier to some other
folks. I was talking to someone at city hall in SF today and they brought me up to speed
on this place:

In the old Chron building (and environs) not too far from the office. Sounds like it
might be an interesting space to try a meeting, or maybe even set up a regular
'collaboration' space. I'm not sure what the overhead is, or if there is any.
The city is quite excited about promoting them.
